The piece of Attakapas cottonade
Which was sent to President CIeve-
land short time ago as birthday
present. and Of which the Picdy1ne
made mention at the time, stating
hat it came from New Iberia. the
IIouma Courier, who seems to know
more about tho maker and sender Of
said piece Of cloth, says: "Thc ac-
count given by the special Washing
ton correspondent OF the New Or
leans Picoyune will doubtless be Of
interest to many to know who the
sender Of this present is. We have
round it out. and will let the cat out o.
the bag. 1t was the happy thought
Of onr excellent fellow citizen, Judge
Fred. l.. Gates, and the present was
pleasantly Acknowledged by an
autograph letter from the President
himselr. The piece of cottonade
was woven by q granddaughter of
the venerable Mr.. Simonettc Leblanc,
Who lives on Bayou Tigre, in Yer
million parish-not Iberia.

10 gin with, a gentleman well
known in this section of country
owns a lot of hens. One Of them: a
few weeks ago, commenced laying iii
the woodpi|e, her nest being situated
between two sticks Of wood placed
far enough apart so that as fast as
the eggs were laid they would drop
npon the ground at least two feet
be'ow. After laying twelve or fif-
teen eggs the hen commenced setting
on the hole between those sticks OF
wood. the eggs being On the ground
two feet distant. Three weeks pass
ed and eleven of these eggs hatched.
Will some scientist explain the phe
nomenon ?"
We are not scientist, but that
hen must have been related to that
other len whose nest was robbed Ivy
a snake. After swallowing the fif-
teen eggs the snake became dormant,
hnt the hen continued to set, At
the appointed time twelve little
chicks walked out Of the snakes

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

Our issue of yesterday, in which was
published the report of the St. Clair
Gibson breach'of promise case, marked
an era in the journalistic, as the case
itself did in the legal annals of this
country. AS one of the counsel engaged
upon the case remarked, it was the first
time that jury in this city had been
asked to decide an issue of the kind. In
like manner it was the first time that
legal report published by the press of
this city has extended over fourteen
columns, which for the most part con-
sisted OF solid minion. Further, we can
call to mind no instance in which so
much reading matter as yesterdays
paper contained has appeared in any
single issue of local newspaper. Hun
dreds Of extra copies were printed and
sold rapidly; so keen and so general
was the interest manifested in this ex-
trsordinary case that at the present
time there are only few remaining.
The report will appear in the weekly
edition of Monday next, with which Mr..
SOper and Mr.. Hewett, the agents, will
be amply supplied. Some of our critics
of late have been sympathizing enough
TO refer to the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL AID
vERTIsER as dying sheet. But the AD-
YERTIsER Is not dead yet.

LATEST NEWS.
Dates 20 she 21st of October by the
MaripOsa.

Following is the summary of the news
received by the Mariposa last evening:
Irish Home Rule
Gladstone addressed an audience of
1900 persons in the Drill Hall, at Derby,
October Doth. He was supported by Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and Baron
Wolverton. Mr.. Gladstone said that
their opponents were growing weaker,
while their own forces growing stronger.
He was accused of cooperating with
those whom he once denounced as march
ing with rapine and murder toward the
disintegration of the empire. All the
objections then presented had passed
away. He did not believe that any Irish
member of Parliament now contemplated
or desired the Acknowledgement of the
empire. They wanted the union of
hearts, and not undion on parchment
or paper. Why, he asked, should he be
accused of gross inconsistency because
he allied himself with Mr.. Parnell and
the Irish party, who were acting on lines
of moderation, which assuredly would in
the end secure home rule?
He fatty denied that his course was
inconsistent. When told he had passed
passed coercion measures, he could only
say that measure such as was contested
st the latest session of Parliament had
never been passed while he was in office
That measure was not aimed at the sup
preston OF crime so much as at the
liberty of the press and the right of
public meeting, as its application proved.
The Act had been used in such manner
Rs to painfully and fagrantly show that
its provisions were different from those
of any Act previously passed. 1t was
more subtle and piercing, and more fatal
to the liberty of the people than any bill
hitherto passed. Coercion had utterly
failed. Instead of trying to drive the
disease inward, be believed that the
Liberals had found plan which would
by their home-rule scheme, solve the
long formidable problem.
It was said that Ireland consisted of
two nations. Italy was once in the same
condition, but the parties there coalesced
and formed one united kingdom. Why
should Ireland not do the same? Glad
stone said he believed the people of
